Resulting in the id to change. I did this without removing the line in fstab. Now when trying to boot I get failure message saying that cifs timed out etc. I was expecting a login (in rescue mode) and it also tells me what to do when I login. BUT the login never appears, so I cannot login and remove the line from fstab Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Remove/Change a partition without removing it from fstab 2.Reboot into failsafe mode 3.Wait for rescue login 4.Wait for a looong time (I waited for about 10 minutes) Actual Results: Repeats prompt about disk failure and telling you what to do after logging in. But no login prompt appears. Expected Results: A login prompt should appear to enable me to login and remove the line from fstab -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If you switch to text mode (F2 or Esc), do you see the same? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It is perhaps easier to reproduce by adding a line for a bogus device to /etc fstab (e.g., /dev/sda44). The only workaround to the never-appearing rescue mode I have found is to boot into emergency mode: 1. Add "systemd.unit=emergency.target" to the kernel options before booting. 2. Log in as root when prompted. 3. Remount root folder to make it writable: "mount -o rw,remount /" 4. Edit /etc/fstab to fix the problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
